DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒door internal handles;
❒locking/unlocking buttons A-B fig. 90;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of at-
tempt to break-into (e.g.: window breaking).
The dead lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the vehicle is parked and left unat-
tended.
Once the dead lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from the passen-
ger’s compartment in any way what-
soever. For this reason, make sure
there are no person left inside the ve-
hicle. If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the dead lock
device can be deactivated only by fit-
ting the metal insert of the key in
both front door revolving plugs as de-
scribed previously: in this case the
dead lock device will stay engaged
only on the rear doors.

tivated on every door when pressing twice
briefly the remote control button
Ø, fig.
87.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashing
of direction indicators and flashing of the
button led A-fig. 90.
If one of the doors is not perfectly closed,
the dead lock device will not activate, thus
preventing that a person getting into the ve-
hicle from the open door remains blocked
inside the passenger’s compartment when
she/he closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒when opening the driver’s door using
the key without remote control;
❒when unlocking doors using the re-
mote control;
